We Promise This Very Odd Car Is Very Real And You Can Even Buy It
For anyone wondering what it’d be like if Photoshop images came to life, meet this Toyota
- A 1984 model with extreme modifications is being sold as a “Supra replica.”
- It features design cues from the Supra, R34 Skyline, and even Lexus branding.
- The seller is asking around $3,030 for this bizarre custom build in Indonesia.
Custom cars have a cult following all over the globe, but every so often, one comes along that truly defies expectations—and maybe common sense. According to the listing, this is a 1984 Toyota Supra. If that claim made you do a double or even a triple take, trust me, you’re not alone.
Frankly, there’s nothing about this car that screams “Supra,” or even whispers it.The transformation is so extreme that you’d have a hard time believing it started life as anything Toyota ever built, let alone a Supra. So, let’s break down what exactly we’re looking at and what the internet has to say about this wild creation.

Available in Lampung Timur, Indonesia, this car features what is described as a “Toyota Supra replica body”, which we assume somehow justifies listing it as a 1984 Toyota Supra. Honestly though, very little of this car resembles any single generation of the Supra. The headlights are probably the closest thing, particularly to the Mk4, and even they aren’t all that convincing.
Interestingly, the rear of the car features wide angular hips not unlike an R34 Nissan Skyline. In fact, the car also has tail lights that look just like the R34. Of course, the giant Lexus wordmark under the Lexus badge itself flips the entire equation on its ear. In one of the comments on Facebook, someone claimed that it’s actually based on a 1984 Toyota Corona.
If that’s true, the work we see here is even more extreme in terms of cosmetic surgery than it seems. The Corona is about as boxy a car as one can imagine. This amalgamation doesn’t appear to share a single panel or piece of glass that matches the Corona. That’s not to say that it isn’t a Corona, just that if it is, boy did the creator do a ton of work. In any case, we really have no idea what the donor car is.

Despite its identity crisis, this custom machine isn’t just a static showpiece. According to the listing, it’s a running, driving vehicle with functional air conditioning, power windows, and even a double-DIN audio system. And because no over-the-top build is complete without a little unintentional comedy, the side skirts proudly bear decals that read “Sport Car”. That’s almost too on the nose.
Depending on how well it actually runs and what kind of shape the interior is in, it might not be a bad little runabout, especially considering the seller is only asking IDR50,000,000 (roughly $3,030 USD) on their Facebook Marketplace listing. For that price, you’re getting one of the most perplexing yet oddly fascinating custom cars out there.
